Chapter 232 Offshore Company
In Sam Country, the sale of Supermicro Semiconductor to the Celestial Empire Supercomputer was only spread in a small range of high-level circles at the beginning, but as the day of the Celestial Empire's supercomputing was getting closer and closer, the news spread more and more widely, and the big media could no longer suppress such a major news.
Even its allies, the Stick Country and the Plaster Country, have already disclosed the details of this matter by the media, and it is so vivid that it can make a Hollywood blockbuster.
The media who have been greeted can only go with the flow and release the truth step by step at such a time.
For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, but I didn't expect that Sam Country, which has always been regarded as an important weapon of the country, was successfully abducted to the Celestial Empire by Zhang Yi in the name of the game server.
In the eyes of those political elites, Zhang Yi, who undermined Sam's country's scientific and technological leadership, should be blamed and spurned by all the people.
And the result was a big surprise to them.
Indeed, some people accuse Zhang Yi of stealing American technology, but these people are very few. Most Sam and some tabloid media portrayed Zhang Yi as a lone hero who went behind enemy lines and accomplished an incredible mission with his own strength.
I have to say that Sam people have a hero complex in their bones, and Zhang Yi perfectly reproduces the heroes in their minds whether it is personal force value, the story of obtaining wealth, or excellent lyrics and music skills.
Such people are the realistic embodiment of Sam's national dream, and as for supercomputing technology, it has a hairy relationship with ordinary people. What's more, in their opinion, the technological blockade is nothing more than a boring trick devised by politicians.
In fact, they were able to come up with such a tendency, which really surprised many people. Most Sam people have no interest in foreign situations at all. Even, if you are casually in the countryside, stop a husband and ask him where the capital of the Celestial Empire is, he may not know.
Thanks to a large national media such as Sam's National Daily today, Zhang Yi has set up a special edition of the Celestial Empire since the day he got this newspaper, reporting on the life of the Celestial Empire, tourist attractions, cultural landscapes, etc., all of which are interesting topics, not involving any political content, but just restoring a real Celestial Empire.
Even if someone objected, there was nothing they could do about him.
The boss is from the Celestial Empire, so it's normal to introduce some topics about the Celestial Empire, isn't it normal!
What's more, this boss is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded by them. He is a typical representative of Sam's national dream, with a lot of influence in the technology industry and the entertainment industry, and he has his own topic and media aura. It's better not to mess with such a person.
Just look at the recent situation, the FBI who troubled him was ridiculed as a joke by his talk show all day long, and even released a video of the FBI when he brutally enforced the law in his company. It aroused the sympathy of many people.
His counterattack is gentle, but it is also different from Sam's inherent impression of the Celestial Empire, in their consistent perception, the Celestial Empire people are always very humble and restrained
Sharp, and light and dust. That's like this one, with a distinct personality, daring to love and hate, tearing apart if you don't agree, no matter what your result is.
Seeing the other party's energy and figuring out his character, in such a situation, it would be unwise to provoke him again. In fact, the most fundamental reason is that you can't catch its handle, and if you continue to toss it, you will be bored.
Under the tacit understanding between the two parties, the FBI's harassment of the company gradually decreased until it was no longer seen, and the topic of ridiculing the FBI in the media also quietly disappeared.
In such a way, both parties have steps to go down and also take care of each other's face.
The supercomputing thing has become a foregone conclusion, even if you are not convinced, what can you do. Could it be that the supercomputer could be stolen back from the Celestial Empire? So the result can only be helpless.
Zhang Yi saw that the matter was over, and immediately handed over his olive branch.
He announced that he would build a server cluster around supercomputing in Sam Country, a package of information solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises, and join Apple to take a stake in Bell Telecom, the largest telecom operator in Sam Country.
With all this fanfare, he quietly bought a small fiber broadband operator, perhaps because it was so small that no one noticed. What's more, Sam Country's current Internet access method, 90 is ADSL copper cable broadband operated by Sam Country Online. In later generations, this company carried out the ADSL broadband service to death, and never considered the plan to lay optical fiber for ordinary users.
In their opinion, the cost of optical fiber deployment is expensive, and it is impossible to recover the return from users, and they cannot be motivated to carry out this kind of technological renewal that they know will lose money and cannot see the prospects.
As for the plan of the server cluster, even Jobs couldn't see the significance of Zhang Yi's doing, but based on the needs of partners, Apple announced that it would try to run part of its business on the server cluster of micro hardware and software.
The orders for tens of thousands of blade servers were used by Intel's Xeon and Supermicro CU, and the solution for cluster load was obtained by IB, and the three companies made a lot of money.
For these large technology companies, everything else is nonsense, and only orders and interests are their favorites.
The bandwidth solution was handed over to the newly acquired optical fiber broadband company, which spent a huge amount of money to build a fiber optic backbone network around the whole Sam Country.
All Sam's people don't realize what Zhang Yi's small fiber broadband company will bring to the country in the future.
You know, at present, Sam Country Online's ADSL broadband, everyone is very satisfied with its speed, no user or company will think that one day, expensive fiber broadband, will completely eliminate ADSL broadband. Just like when Kodak developed a digital camera, it would not have thought at all, precisely because
The advent of digital cameras has completely buried the camera film industry. In the end, Kodak was forced to be sold for a dollar. When you think about it, you can't help but sigh.
As for the issue of laying optical fibers in the Celestial Empire, Zhang Yi never thought about it, the national conditions are different, and if he rigidly adopts the development model of Sam Country, he will only throw himself into the pit and cannot extricate himself.
In fact, no country will allow basic telecommunications services to be operated by foreign companies, but in this era, no one thinks that fiber broadband will become a basic telecommunications service.
The plan to take a stake in TSMC was successfully carried out thanks to the intervention of Jobs and the deep relationship between Philips and Apple.
TSMC's management is also happy to see Apple, the giant of technology companies, become a shareholder of TSMC. Baodao Development Company, the official shareholder of Baodao, is also happy to see Apple's doping. One wants to buy, the other wants to sell, and the shares in the hands of the two largest shareholders are all acquired by Apple.
The stock market is not only about actual returns, but also about the prospects, and about telling stories.
And Apple's acquisition of TSMC, as long as you think about it, you will know how much imagination there is in it. One is a world-renowned computer manufacturer, and the other is a world-famous manufacturer of high-grade integrated circuits, if they are united, Apple's CU will not be able to achieve self-sufficiency, thus giving birth to the third chip design and manufacturing enterprise in addition to Intel and Supermicro Semiconductors.
TSMC's stock has also changed its previous decline, rising all the way, soaring wildly.
It's just that when they toasted and celebrated, TSMC and Apple tied the knot, no one expected that most of the shares of TSMC that Apple would get in their hands would immediately change hands to a small technology company registered in the British Virgin Islands, called Xiaowei Technology, and all the information of this company, on the surface, is relatively close to Apple.
Under the influence of Apple's aura of large-scale entry into TSMC, such news is well covered.
No one cares about this, and even those who have ideas just think that Apple is only for the needs of the company's operations, or simply for the need to avoid taxes.
In Sam's Country, reasonable tax avoidance is protected by law, and large companies do this, and everyone knows each other.
The only difference is that TSMC, after the controlling shareholder was replaced by Apple and the small and micro technology, Apple only sent a few full-time financial auditors. However, this small and micro technology company has sent a large number of personnel to various departments of TSMC production, listening, watching, and learning.
This made some managers of TSMC feel inexplicable pressure, could it be that this company wants to learn these technologies and then start anew? After all, the other party has to consult and learn all aspects of production, no matter how big or small.
Another strange thing is that the personnel stationed by Xiaowei Technology are basically all from the Celestial Empire, and they speak fluent Celestial Empire dialect
, also respectful to TSMC's technicians.
The so-called stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, what's more, the other party is still a representative of the employer, what can you do, I have reported this kind of thing to Apple, but Apple has turned a deaf ear, as if it has completely forgotten this chip manufacturing company that has spent a lot of money to buy.
There is no way to think about it, so you can only acquiesce to the existence of the other party. Fortunately, the other party is just learning and does not interfere with the normal operation of the company, which makes TSMC feel a lot more at ease.
In Bai Jie's view, the boss's recent investment, except for supercomputing, all the other funds have been transferred to several offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands, once they enter these accounts, they will be responsible for the investment companies in Hong Kong, and Bai Jie does not know where they are invested. Because of a woman's unique hobby of money, she really wanted to ask Zhang Yi, but she knew better that if a little man wants you to know, he will tell you, and if you don't want you to know, you'd better not ask.
